He got down on his knees
Wanted to propose
With nothing in hand
Except a red rose

He loved her a lot
This he knew well
But what's in her mind
He could not tell

He stood before her
He saw her wink
But as he got down
He saw her flinch

As he spoke the words
Her face turned blank
He thought silently
Had he just pulled the strand

He wanted to be her prince
Save her from the castle
He wanted her to love
Not win her in a battle

But little did he knew
What she thought of him
Her heart was just broken
What left was sorrow within

She was at the cafe
To find some peace
But destiny turned its wand
And she quickly became his

She wanted someone to care
She wished for a friend
With love never on mind
She just wanted to blend

Last night on the walk
He seemed so sweet
And that's why today
She agreed to meet

Handsome he looked
When he called her "miss"
But then he held a rose
Getting down on his knees

This she didn't expect
Didn't know how to react
After all this was
Only the second time they met
